Summary
Yang Xue is a Perception Engineer with 10 years of experience building multimodal, temporally-aware 3D perception systems for autonomous platforms. Currently at Waabi after leading AI perception efforts at Black Sesame Technologies, Yang has worked on BEV perception, end-to-end occupancy prediction, neural rendering, and simulation to bridge research prototypes and production stacks. Trained at UC Davis with a background in energy and power engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University, he brings a systems-minded approach to sensor fusion and spatio-temporal modeling. Known for integrating neural rendering into simulation-driven pipelines, he focuses on improving robustness and real-world fidelity of perception outputs. Based in California, he combines academic rigor with hands-on deployment experience across safety-critical perception modules. Resourceful and cross-disciplinary, Yang often leverages insights from physical systems engineering to inform data-driven perception design.
